I think you have to ask yourself whether you can spend the time that would have otherwise went into creating this system in a better way. Consider the following three scenarios:
(1) You do take on the project and fails completely. Was that experience worth the time spent? Did you maximize how much you can learn/take away from it? Are you worse off than if you didn't start it at all?
(2) You complete it and achieve moderate success.
(3) You complete it and it surpasses what you originally thought it would achieve.
Are you already spending your free time in a better way? Here, I use "better" completely subjectively. You are only a senior in high school once and it very well might be the case that this time is better spent in company of friends, partying and enjoying your life.

- gsmaverick 18y agoI've tried to look for partners but either they are bad coders, not committed, or are not "startup" people.
- ph0rque 18y agoKeep looking (not full time, of course). They're out there! Obviously, this is one of the best places to do so...
- gsmaverick 18y agoI am wondering what the best way to look for co-founders is. I'm only 16, and I've got nothing to pay them, and a bad economy staring us down. Do you have any tips?
- ph0rque 18y agoThe way I found my current co-founder is by attending a Ruby meetup in my area, and talking to the other members. Don't worry about paying people, or the economy; just get together for a weekend and start hacking on a small project. If things work out, you can just go from there; if not, rinse, lather, repeat :~).
